This is called "losing 800 to the enemy while losing 8000 to yourself".

He flaunted himself too much and ended up in a mess.

In the end, it was Zhou Hao who made the money.

"So, what exactly happened between you and You Shuang? I noticed she kept looking towards the door while she was eating; I wonder if she was looking at you."

Li Dongyang rolled over and got out of bed, intending to go to the kitchen to get some water, without saying anything about Shuang.

It wasn't that he cared about saving face; it was just that he knew deeply that in today's society, one should leave room for maneuver so that you can meet again in the future.

No, it's best not to see them.

Since we've broken up, there's no need to make things so ugly and let everyone laugh at us.

"It's nothing, it's just that we're incompatible."

“I don’t think this is as simple as it seems,” Zhou Hao said.

He had already sensed something unusual about these two.

"Alright, if you don't want to talk about it, then forget it. I won't bring it up again. It's just a real shame you didn't come today. That bastard Wang Kai's face turned green. At first, I brought three bottles of 6,000 yuan red wine and said it was my treat. Who knew he'd have a brain fart and insist on treating me, and even asked the lobby manager to change to something more upscale."

“Then let’s change it! Change it to a bottle that costs over 30,000. Actually, that’s not a high price, but considering his budget, I’m worried he can’t afford to pay more. We’re all classmates, right? It wouldn’t be good to go too far. So I estimated how much money he could come up with, and we’ll go with this.”

"Hahaha!"

"Isn't it satisfying? This is a real-life way to slap those who are pretentious."

“kekek~” The sound of water being poured came from Li Dongyang’s side.

Zhou Hao's first thought was that this guy was in the bathroom?

"I'm not in the kitchen pouring water."

"Go on," Li Dongyang said, bringing a glass of water into the living room and sitting at the dining table.

Zhou Hao was speaking animatedly on the other end.

Li Dongyang listened with a smile on his face.

"110,000 yuan, they're practically offering it to me, do you think I'd refuse? My family owns a hotel, we're not running a charity, right?"

"He thinks he's all high and mighty just because he drives a BMW 3 Series."

"Oh my, people can be really funny sometimes."

"Alright, it looks like you just woke up. Go get something to nourish your body so you don't feel weak."

"One night, as a man, I understand!"

"That's how it ended."

"By the way, when is your new drama going to be released? If you need anything, just let me know. Don't miss this opportunity just because you missed the last one."

"Okay!" Li Dongyang smiled.

After chatting with Zhou Hao for a while, I hung up the phone and went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles.

He's been working overtime all week and hasn't slept well, so he's been sleeping soundly until now.

A good night's sleep makes a big difference in a person's energy and spirit.

A while ago, his father took out all his savings and asked him to buy a car. Li Dongyang thought about it for a long time but couldn't bring himself to do it.

The First Company is located near the residential area, just a few minutes' walk away.

He doesn't like to travel around much during his holidays, so buying a car would be a waste.

Gas costs, insurance, maintenance, and minor bumps and bruises are inevitable.

When you calculate it this way, you end up with a lot more expenses each year.

Unlike other young people who care about appearances, Li Dongyang rarely goes out, and a taxi ride only costs him a hundred or two hundred yuan.

This way of calculating actually saves more money.

These past few days, the styles he's been browsing on his phone aren't actually for himself.

His father's car has been driven for over 10 years. Although it can still be driven, it is bound to have problems. If the car breaks down on the highway, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The family had considered getting a new car before, but they couldn't bear to part with it because their parents would help Li Dongyang buy a house.

They would rather suffer themselves than let their son suffer.

Li Dongyang saw all of this.

My father was a very handsome and stylish man when he was young. His favorite cars were off-road vehicles and pickup trucks. Considering that my father runs a supermarket, I thought buying a pickup truck would be more suitable.

There's room for cargo in the back, and four seats.

This kind of car is much cooler than a minivan.

His first thought was Wuling, a car known for its durability.

But when I looked at the price, I felt a bit embarrassed to accept it.

Then he started browsing other brands of pickup trucks on his phone.

The first model is the Shanghai Atmos T60 2.0TNLE gasoline version, which has a sunroof, EPS electronic power steering system, and engine start-stop.

The royal blue color looks very eye-catching.

The second car I looked at was the Jiangxi Isuzu 3.0T luxury version.

Its highlight is its global powertrain and transmission system.

The third car was the Zhengzhou Nissan Navara. Although it looked cool, Li Dongyang immediately gave up on it as soon as he saw the word "Japan" on it.

Ultimately, it boils down to the first two options.

In the end, I chose this royal blue Shanghai Datong model for my father.

They can handle both hauling goods and going out without any problems.

As for myself, I don't need a car right now.

Therefore, Li Dongyang currently has no intention of buying it.

I ate a bowl of noodles for lunch, or more accurately, a bowl of noodles in the afternoon. After lunch, I took a taxi to the car market.

He had made an appointment online in advance and went directly to the 4S store when he arrived.

He wanted to pay in full, but the dealership wouldn't allow it, promising to pay it off within three years without any interest.

What's the difference between taking out an interest-free loan and paying in full for a car?

He didn't understand the ins and outs of this place. He could have simply gone through the procedures and picked up the car, but they ended up making it take him more than two hours.

I made a down payment of 100,000 and took out a loan of 100,000, so the final cost was 220,000.

After deducting 100,000 from his savings, he still had more than 500,000 left in his account.

I thought I never wanted to have anything to do with loans again in my life, but I was proven wrong not long after.

He had money on hand, but people didn't want it, so he ended up taking out a loan of over 100,000 yuan.

After leaving the 4S store, Li Dongyang shook his head. These days, even if you have money, they'll let you take out a loan. What are they after?

Li Dongyang had just stepped out of the 4S store when his phone rang.

The caller was Xia Nuan.

"Remember to check your bank card when you get down. The split has been paid out, and Sister Jing has deposited it directly into your card."

"By the way, where are you?" Xia Nuan asked.

"Buy a car," Li Dongyang replied.

What car should I buy?

"Buy a pickup truck."

A string of question marks popped into Xia Nuan's head.

My first thought was, "Is this guy out of his mind?"

"you?"

"Buying a pickup truck? Are you going to buy goods or go shopping?"

Xia Nuan clearly misunderstood; he thought Li Dongyang had bought him a pickup truck.

"No, this is for my dad. The car he used to drive was almost totaled, so I thought I'd get him a new one sooner."

"Oh, so have you made up your mind?"

"I've already bought it."

"Okay, then. I just called to let you know to remember to check the bill."

After hanging up the phone, Li Dongyang found a bank nearby and inserted his card.

Yes, he wasn't mistaken; the card showed a balance of over 1.5 million.
